It's a good movie, and has great truth to it, but what we are shown is what Yoko wanted us to see. Her slave Elliot Mintz says whatever she tells him too. To portray John as a child unwanted, and incorrigible, is to enable a behavior, that hurt his relationship, with his son. Please don't get me wrong, what John did to promote peace was fresh, and honest. However we must take what's said in this film, and watch it, knowing the effect the widow with the copyrights, and ability to give access to needed information, had on it. The measure of a person isn't in shaping the ideas of a nation, but the home life they had. John is worthy of praise, and didn't deserve the bullying tactics of the ultra conservative crooks, in Washington. But Julian was to forever see a man save the planet, but did not have time to save a father son relationship. With that little rant over, it is a movie that offers new insight, but I am afraid, it's Yoko edited insight. Where's May Pang? Where's Cynthia, or Julian? A documentary is made to pose a question, and if the question isn't asked of all the players, what you get is a close minded statement.
